Are you in the LA area? Attend our upcoming conference for free!

Volunteer with the Coalition for Science After School at the National Conference on Science and Technology in Out-of-School Time in Universal City, CA on September 24th!

The 2010 National Conference on Science and Technology in Out of School Time brings together stakeholders in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, including policymakers, researchers, funders, scientists, program directors, and advocates. Attendees will learn about the latest developments in STEM education policy, funding trends, and professional development.

Volunteers will be operating simple audio recording equipment and recording breakout sessions at the conference. As a thank you from the Coalition for Science After School, you will receive lunch, compensated parking, and free admission to the plenary sessions during the rest of the day.

Volunteers will need to come to a short training to learn how to operate the equipment. Training will take place on Friday, September 24th, at 8:00 a.m.

Sessions take place during the following time slots. You can volunteer for one session in each time slot:

Friday, September 24th, 10:15 a.m.-11:30 a.m.

Friday, September 24th, 12:15 p.m.-1:30 p.m.

Preference will be given to volunteers who can attend multiple time slots.
